For storm information specific to your area, please monitor products issued by your national meteorological service. DISCUSSION AND 48-HOUR OUTLOOK ------------------------------ At 1200 AM MDT (0600 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Lidia was located near latitude 23.6 North, longitude 110.7 West. Lidia is moving toward the north-northwest near 10 mph (17 km/h), and this motion is expected to continue through today. On the forecast track, the center of Lidia will move near or over the Baja California peninsula through Saturday. Maximum sustained winds remain near 65 mph (100 km/h) with higher gusts. A gradual weakening is forecast, but Lidia is anticipated to remain a tropical storm during the next day or so. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 185 miles (295 km) mainly to the northeast and southeast of the center. A sustained wind of 54 mph (87 km/h) and a wind gust to 68 mph (109 km/h) were recently reported at Cabo Pulmo, Baja California Sur. A wind gust to 45 mph (72 km/h) was recently measured at Topolobampo, Sinaloa, on the eastern side of the Gulf of California. The estimated minimum central pressure based on surface observations from southern Baja California Sur is 987 mb (29.15 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- RAINFALL: Lidia is expected to produce total rain accumulations of 6 to 12 inches across the Mexican states of Baja California Sur into Baja California, Sinaloa and the coastal section of Sonora, with isolated maximum amounts of 20 inches. These rains may cause life-threatening flash floods and mudslides. Some of the tropical moisture from Lidia may reach parts of the desert Southwest this holiday weekend, including southern California, southern Nevada and southwestern Arizona. WIND: Tropical storm conditions are occurring over the southern portion of Baja California Sur at this time. These conditions should spread northward across the warning area through Friday night. Hurricane conditions are still possible within the hurricane watch area during the next few hours. Tropical storm conditions are expected in the warning area in mainland Mexico through Friday. Tropical storm conditions are possible in the watch areas Friday night or Saturday. Wind speeds atop and on the windward sides of hills and mountains are often up to 30 percent stronger than the near-surface winds indicated in this advisory, and in some elevated locations could be even greater. STORM SURGE: A dangerous storm surge is expected to produce coastal flooding in areas of onshore winds on the southern portion of Baja California Sur. Near the coast, the surge will be accompanied by large and destructive waves. SURF: Swells generated by Lidia are affecting portions of the coast of southwestern and western Mexico and southern portions of Baja California Sur, and could cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office. NEXT ADVISORY ------------- Next complete advisory at 300 AM MDT. $$ Forecaster Berg
